Pacers Sign Tony Bradley To Second 10-Day Contract

The Indiana Pacers have signed center Tony Bradley to a second 10-day contract following a brief initial stint where he played four games, contributing six points, four rebounds, one block, and one assist. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle praised Bradley's defensive performance, noting his potential value as a third center after injuries sidelined Isaiah Jackson and James Wiseman. Bradley's first contract saw him average about 11 minutes on the court, with his most significant outing against the Chicago Bulls. The decision to re-sign him indicates the Pacers view Bradley as a more valuable option compared to Jahlil Okafor, who did not receive a second contract after his initial 10-day deal. As Bradley’s second contract nears its end, the Pacers face a crucial decision on whether to keep him for the remainder of the season or let him go. This strategic move underscores the team's ongoing efforts to bolster their roster amidst injury challenges.
